An Indiana man stuck in a two-year legal battle for a state-issued photo ID might not have one in time for the Nov. 6 election after his Bureau of Motor Vehicles administrative hearing ended Friday without any resolution.

Joesph Worley, 44, Muncie, said he's been denied an ID because of tough identification requirements imposed by the Indiana BMV. The name on his birth certificate, "Joseph Alan Ivey," and the name on his Social Security card, "Joesph A. Worley," do not match, and due to a prior drunken-driving conviction and his lack of a photo ID, he's unable to get a name change.
